Bonjour! Welcome to Quebec! I was born and raised in a small town just outside the city. From generations of French settlers, my oldest one arrived here in 1664 as a fur trader. During my teenage years, I studied in Albany, New York in an ESL program for two years where I became fluent in English. I have a degree in Education from the Laval University in Quebec City and have been living here since then. I know the city's secrets, love every minute of all its seasons and can't wait to tell you all about it! I have worked in the tourism industry all my life and, I know, if you are looking to book a private tour, you are a curious and interested traveller and I love it! I am a friendly and enthusiastic person and all I want is for you to have the best city tour you ever had. I will customize it to your needs and interests, making sure when we walk around the old city, that you have the impression of being here with those French settlers more than 400 years ago. For me, a city tour is part history and part contemporary. At your pace and preference, we will walk to the monuments and historical sites, we will see and/or walk on the fortifications, experience the Wow of the Château Frontenac, see the murals, the churches, the canons, the architecture and more! We will also talk about the city today, its economy, the way we live, what we like to eat and do for fun, our schools and institutions, and anything else you might have questions about. At the end of our tour, you will be comfortable walking in the old town and you will know what is going on in the city as far as shows, festivals, exhibits etc. . . and the best spots for a drink, for jazz or simply for coffee. You will also have in hand my exclusive preferred restaurant list, mapped out with pricing, comments and phone numbers. Welcome to Québec! It will be my pleasure to share with you my affection and pride for this fabulous city! - In the Travel and Tourism Industry for some 25 years - B.A. in Education - Certified Quebec City tour guide ( Merici College ) - Member of the Quebec City Tour Guide Association - Member of the Quebec City Historical Society - Member of Quebec City Genealogy Society My car, a Lexus UX Hybrid, can accommodate up to 4 passengers.

Overview of your Quebec City tour

Soon to be 425 years ago, Champlain reached Kebec, as the natives called it, meaning where the river narrows. And it became the oldest city in Canada, its jewel. This tour will take you on the path of the French settlers and through the sites and monuments that bring to life the events and people that shaped Québec city into the vibrant and unique French city in North America. From the famous Château Frontenac to the first school for girls in North America, and the Cathedral Notre-Dame of Quebec, we will walk the streets and along the fortification that circle the city. Where canons and statues recall the words of the founding fathers of the Canadian Dominion, we will admire the breathtaking view on the majestic St Lawrence. In the lower town, we will walk the Petit Champlain street, awarded Super Hall of Fame by the Travel&Leisure magazine. With its cobblestone streets and French colonial architecture Place Royale, St-Paul and St-Pierre streets are also a foodies' paradise..
